T_T I still don't quite understand : exactly how does this blizzard patch affect TLT??

edit: nvm. Just read the bnet website. Hmm so it seems now blizzard will provide an interface that connects bw/bnet to a league database (win/loss reporting etc).

I think, altough this will probably make you lose part of your work on the project, it might be very useful to create a new battle.net embedded version that has more potential.

But the timing still sucks hard :|

Do you think blizzard visits TLnet?

they certainly used to
also pretty certain they still do, although probably less than before as their main forum reader changed jobs.

If I understand the information at the Blizzard webpage correct anyone can apply for that LDK to form a league of their own? I don't know if I think that is what the community really need. A real ladder would have been so much better. Still. Respect to Blizzard for still trying to developing StarCraft. Maybe it will turn out to be a really good idea in the end.

After skimming the information about LDK I still think we need TLTour tho. And to all of you that have been working hard to create TLTour. Thank you guys so much for your dedication, passion and hard work to bring all the rest of us a new ladder. Im sure we will see it launch and that it will be a great one. Right decision to delay it for a bit right now tho.

By the way. This new system released by Blizzard, is it the last nail in the coffin of Blizzard and WGtour cooperation?

I might be alone, but I think this patch is awesome , especially for league creator like TL.
The blizzard pack will make the creation of a league easier and incorporated into battle.net. That means that it would save a lot of work for the developpers.

I think TL decision to delay the TLTour is reasonnable. You should try this blizzard kit and see if it makes thinks easier and smooth to run.

I will always think that using battle.Net as a place to play is the best way to go (compared to pvpgn server). Everyting except the Anti ack will be incorporated on battle net.

As i understand it, the players will just have to register on the league on the website of this league and then just play the league on the regular bnet. So far so good.

If i still understood correctly, it is the "so needed" interface for wgtour but not only for them, for all the site that want to run a league. So TLTour should still exist cause it is "also" a league that can be supported through blizzard.

So stay tuned and be ready to play

A lot of you are seeing this as a bad thing. I tend to agree, the delaying of TLT is horrible, it was going to be my first and most likely the best so far. The work they have already done is amazing. But think about it this way, at least we know blizzard hasn't forgotten us. I have a feeling they are testing this system out to use it in future games, possible SC2, and maybe we will actually see the beta by the end of the year as they've said.

What I fear is this this patch will do to TLTour what they did to WGTour, that is delay it as the organizers wait for additional features and the new patch so that they can work with anticipated new information, only to have the patch never come...
